Sun Meets Tokyo — Where Energy, Community, and Culture Come Together

In a city known for its nightlife, Sun Meets Tokyo offers a refreshing contrast, a celebration of mornings, movement, and meaningful connection.

Co-created by AXI, ByChiefs, and FR Tokyo, this new community running event redefines how Tokyo’s creative scene connects. Led by the vibrant Likou Running community, Sun Meets Tokyo brings together runners, creators, and brands who share a love for wellness, culture, and collaboration.

A Different Kind of Gathering

Held early in the morning, each event starts with a group run through some of Tokyo’s most scenic routes, a chance to energize body and mind before the city wakes.

After the run, participants gather at a partner café, where the morning continues with music from live DJs, coffee, and conversations that bridge fitness, art, and lifestyle. It’s more than a run, it’s a ritual that connects people who value balance and creativity.

Powered by Community and Collaboration

Sun Meets Tokyo thrives through partnerships with local cafes, lifestyle brands, and services that share its vision. Our first event was proudly sponsored by VITAS, PUMA, and GoPro, brands that embody the same energy and forward-thinking spirit that drives this community.

The Healthy Alternative

Unlike traditional nightlife gatherings, Sun Meets Tokyo champions a healthier, more conscious lifestyle, offering brands and participants a platform that reflects positivity, productivity, and purpose. It’s an environment where collaboration feels natural and authentic, built on shared values rather than late-night distractions.

Join the Movement

As Sun Meets Tokyo grows, each edition will feature new routes, new cafés, and new collaborations, all while staying true to its core: building community through motion, music, and morning light.
